Just got mine at TRU. It's amazing how much better a deal this is than just about everything else on the market-- you get a ship and two figures for $30. Unreal. Of course, the landing gear still seems to be saggy, so I'll be propping mine up with LEGO bricks or something else again. But it LOOKS like a pile of awesome.

Here's hoping for a second red redeco patterned after the 1979 or so Kenner die-cast ship. (Which is different than the 2004 version.)

I picked one up as well and cracked it open. I saw three and all of them had a mole type mark on the Pilot's cheek.

Overall, I think the dirt detail is a bit much, but those nose guns, they make quite a difference. I'm also a little disappointed, it seems like the "motivator" on the permanent ship R5 is non retractable. At least I can't get it to retract.

That has been my only source of hesitation about wanting this. I like a little bit of battle damage, but it seems excessive, based purely on online pics. However, I haven't added a Y-Wing to my collection since the early 80's, so I'd love to get one to add to my modern displays.

I'm always irked at the desireable pack-ins with these ships, so that annoys me that I've gotta track down help to get the figures and not the ship (or bite the bullet on something I don't want). Hopefully my ace-in-the-hole came through for me on this one. I dig getting such an obscure pilot and then getting a nice repainted R5 since they're thus far not too common.

UPS just delivered the Y-Wing I ordered from TRU.com - just a notice to anyone else who ordered or is thinking of ordering online, the box of mine was pretty smashed up. I don't necessarily care since I'm opening it anyways, and the ship/figures are just fine, but they just tossed this box in a larger box and shipped it out. No packing whatsoever.

Aside from that, I'm quite happy to have it. It was one of the OT ships I was still missing, and its nice to get a little closer to having them all.
